Empowering chicken farmers in Rwanda
​
About
This website was created by Olivier Ntaganzwa, a Master’s student at Purdue University, to provide extension agents in Rwanda with online resources about raising and marketing chickens.
​​
This material was developed as part of a 3-credit independent study entitled Global Food Animal Program Development, conducted under the supervision of Dr. Neil A. Knobloch, Professor of Agricultural Education at Purdue University.
Our special thanks go to Rwandan extension agents Eric Muhirwa and Jean Pierre Hakizimana who collected data for this study's Needs Assessment Survey conducted in Kamonyi District, Southern Province .
